A long long time ago |
| [00:08.77] |
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile |
| [00:16.17] |
And I knew if I had my chance |
| [00:19.22] |
That I could make those people dance |
| [00:21.94] |
And maybe they'd be happy for a while. |
| [00:26.60] |
|
| [00:37.55] |
Did you write the Book of Love |
| [00:40.33] |
And do you have faith in God above |
| [00:44.19] |
If the Bible tells you so |
| [00:49.46] |
Do you believe in rock 'n roll |
| [00:53.42] |
Can music save your mortal soul |
| [00:56.96] |
And can you teach me how to dance real slow |
| [01:04.04] |
|
| [01:04.27] |
Well, I know that you're in love with him |
| [01:07.86] |
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym |
| [01:11.32] |
You both kicked off your shoes |
| [01:14.78] |
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues |
| [01:18.19] |
|
| [01:18.71] |
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck |
| [01:21.68] |
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck |
| [01:26.31] |
But I knew I was out of luck |
| [01:29.41] |
The day the music died |
| [01:34.16] |
|
| [01:35.85] |
I started singin' |
| [01:36.89] |
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [01:39.81] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [01:41.92] |
But the levee was dry |
| [01:43.59] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [01:47.09] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [01:51.22] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [01:54.73] |
|
| [02:00.35] |
I met a girl who sang the blues |
| [02:03.81] |
And I asked her for some happy news |
| [02:07.32] |
But she just smiled and turned away |
| [02:10.91] |
I went down to the sacred store |
| [02:15.38] |
Where I'd heard the music years before |
| [02:18.84] |
But the man there said the music wouldn't play |
| [02:24.06] |
|
| [02:25.80] |
And in the streets the children screamed |
| [02:29.85] |
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed |
| [02:33.37] |
But not a word was spoken |
| [02:35.73] |
The church bells all were broken |
| [02:39.20] |
|
| [02:39.90] |
And the three men I admire most |
| [02:43.74] |
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost |
| [02:47.23] |
They caught the last train for the coast |
| [02:50.47] |
The day the music died |
| [02:55.29] |
|
| [02:56.63] |
And they were singing |
| [02:57.68] |
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [03:00.49] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [03:02.59] |
But the levee was dry |
| [03:03.96] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [03:07.52] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [03:11.25] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [03:15.01] |
|
| [03:16.93] |
They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [03:23.19] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [03:25.63] |
But the levee was dry |
| [03:26.80] |
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye |
| [03:30.12] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [03:34.59] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [03:38.46] |
|
